Researchers followed 500 couples in Michigan and Texas for one year, asking them to log their seafood consumption (tiêu thụ) and sexual activity (hoạt động tình dục) in daily journals (nhật ký hằng ngày). Couples had 39 percent higher odds of having sex on days when both partners ate seafood, the study found.

And by the end of the year, 92 percent of couples who ate seafood more than twice a week had conceived (thụ thai), compared to 79 percent of couples who ate less fish and shellfish. The association between seafood and fertility remained even after accounting for how frequently couples had sex.

"While an increase in sexual activity might be one behavioral mechanism linking seafood intake to higher fecundity, it is not the only mechanism,"

Tech mogul Gates will use funds from his own charity organization – the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation – to eradicate (xóa bỏ) malaria "within a generation."

The plan is to create genetically modified (biến đổi gen) male mosquitoes that mate with their female counterparts in the wild. Only female mosquitoes bite, so Gates' army of gene-engineered male mosquitoes would be safe to humans. What's important is that these male mosquitoes contain a self-limiting gene that gets passed onto female mates. When the females give birth, their offspring will die before adulthood thanks to the gene.

Mosquitoes only start biting people once they're adults, so given enough time, the danger of blood-sucking female mosquitoes could be eradicated.
